FRANCE

  Paris , France

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities on earth, a truth easily appreciated on a stroll that could yield one stunning vista after another, from the epic Eiffel Tower to the regal Jardin des Tuileries to the petite cafés bursting onto the sidewalks. Beyond the city’s visual appeal, the cultural riches of the French capital are unsurpassed. Whether you opt to explore the historic, fashion-conscious, bourgeois, or bohemian and arty sides of Paris, one thing is certain: the City of Light will always enthrall.

Watching the Eiffel Tower at night

Every night when the weather is nice there is a sort of spontaneous international picnic and tower-watching party on the grass of the Parc du Champ de Mars near the Eiffel Tower.

Montmartre - Sacré Coeur, Paris

In the top of the only hill of Paris, this church was built by the national will, following the defeat in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
The basilica, by the architect Abadie was consecrated in 1919.
